Port Glasgow Town Buildings

Designed and built by David Hamilton in 1815, the Doric portico" building has a steeple of 150ft topped with a fully rigged ship on the vane which is made of copper and is nearly six feet in length. The steeple, by some accounts, was once hit by lightning and lost nearly 20 foot of bricks and stonework. The building was home to the council chambers (Port Glasgow was made a burgh in 1775 and a council of 13 men appointed) up until this the council business was done in King Street. The building is still in use today having undergone a renovation it now holds the towns library.
